"No, Mom said..."
"Cheng Fangyi, are you a mama's boy? All you say is what your mother said."
Cheng Fangyi was not ashamed but proud. "Well... why not? Anyway, if mom said no, then it's not allowed. Just be obedient and it will be a full month soon."
The first rule of survival for a son-in-law is that everything the mother-in-law says makes sense.
"Why open the window? If you don't take good care of yourself now, when you get old and have pains here and there, you'll know you were wrong."
Su's mother poked her head in, said this and ran away quickly.
In the end, Cheng Fangyi compromised and opened a small crack in the window.
The next morning, Aunt Xiulan, Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Liao and others came to the door together.
Each of them carried a basket full of things.
"Mrs. Su, we are here to see your Xiaoqing."
These country aunts like to call each other by their surnames and "pozi". Su Qing always feels uncomfortable hearing it.
"Just come, why bring so many things?"
"Xiaoqing gave birth to two sons at once, so naturally I have to bring double."
"I'm so happy that you've come to see my Xiaoqing."
"Twin sons, this is a great joy."
Everyone exchanged greetings in the yard and then moved into Su Qing's house.
"Oh my, these two big fat boys look so festive. Come, let auntie hug them."
Several aunts rushed to hold the fifth and sixth children.

After staying for a while, Aunt Wang took the initiative to suggest going outside to talk.
Aunt Liao left the east room reluctantly.
Her grandson was born a week earlier than Su Qing's child, but he looks the same now as when he was born. He is nowhere near as fair and clean as Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.
In the past, she thought that as for children, all she had to do was feed them and raise them until they grew up. Now, seeing that the Su family's children were fair, tender and strong, her inner thoughts were slowly loosening.
For this reason, he often went to Su's mother for advice, asking her how she produced Su Qing's milk and how she took care of the child.
When he heard about pig's trotters, crucian carp and eggs, his brows were furrowed like mountains.
But her intuition told her that it would be right to follow Su's mother, so she gritted her teeth and bought it for her daughter-in-law.
I don’t know if it’s because the child has grown bigger or because of better nutrition, but Aunt Liao’s grandson is showing signs of growing into a New Year picture doll. Aunt Liao is so happy that she specially gave half a basket of eggs to Su’s mother.
